I did it this way & can do a lot more than my previous record but then juggling hack Pete Moyer complained if you look at the bottom comment but I think Mike this is just fine so I tried it & got 100 patterns in one minute so you still beat me. Mike you are a real juggler not a hack like Pete Moyer!

I feel like I'd be slower with the half claw, interestingly. I wonder if doing Mills' Mess clawed would be possible/faster? It seems incredibly difficult trying it now, but maybe with some practice it could be done.

Thanks. I hope I get better soon too... I had some pretty serious issues with my lungs, I'm taking it easy for a while to say the least. I'll probably try some juggling recordsetter stuff eventually though. Good luck on your future juggling endeavors! :)

That's something I thought about a fair bit before submitting. In my opinion, the answer is yes, for these reasons:
1- It has the same sequence of throw points, and is the same as a "normal" Mills with respect to a Mills Mess state transition diagram.
2- the siteswap is still (roughly) 3.

That said, the catch point of the under throw /is/ different. I figured I'd just try to make that explicit in my additional info and let the judges decide.

I'm normally pretty selective about the stuff I put on Youtube, so I'd rather not have this up there, especially since it's already been beaten (once by CoolJuggler, and once again by me!). I don't think it's as clean and fast as I'd like it to be to have it up there.

Brian, that's not a mills mess. Compare it to your first video and you can tell it's different. It's like you're alternating between Mill's and a Boston Mess. RecordSetter, let me know if you need anymore evidence to deny this attempt.
